ISLAMABAD — Iran sent a delegation of 80 people to Islamabad with an offer on its nuclear program. U.S. team did not understand the proposal from Iran.
U.S. team did not understand what was being proposed by Iran. Sullivan's remarks came on the record, as reported by @MarioNawfal. He emphasized that Iran's concessions on its nuclear program occurred before a blockade.
That blockade changed everything, with the concessions made prior to what Sullivan described as an act of war, not after. The delegation's arrival in Islamabad marked a significant diplomatic push from Iran.
U.S. Side during the discussions. No further details on the exact nature of the offer emerged from the meeting, but the scale of the Iranian team—80 members—underscored the seriousness of the proposal. @MarioNawfal reported Sullivan's statements, noting they were delivered openly.
Prof. U.S. team's lack of understanding were Sullivan's, not his own.
U.S. Official.
